This can be seen in a trace, e.g.: kworker/u16:97-5939 [000] ..... 639.403740: fscache_cookie: c=000071a9 - lrudo r=3 kworker/u16:97-5939 [000] ..... 639.403741: fscache_cookie: c=000071a9 GQ endac r=4 kworker/u16:97-5939 [000] ..... 639.403745: fscache_cookie: c=000071a9 PUT lru r=3 dirstress-7027 [002] ..... 639.427220: fscache_relinquish: c=000071a9 V=00000001 r=3 U=0 f=bd rt=0 dirstress-7027 [002] ..... 639.427222: fscache_cookie: c=000071a9 GQ endac r=4 dirstress-7027 [002] ..... 639.427223: fscache_cookie: c=000071a9 PQ overq r=3 where the "overq" line marks the discarded event and ref.
